Miss Bridge calls for us to Portugal; not only the well-known world of Estoril and the Embassies, but behind the scenes, in to the life lived on country estates by the Portuguese themselves. Both aspects are seen through the new eyes of a Hungarian young lady just released from behind the Flat iron Window curtain, who also offers stunning and horrifying glimpses of life in Soviet-dominated Hungary from 1945 to 1955. Communist intrigues give suspense and thrills to this book full of swift activity, when any drive in an automobile may hold likelihood of danger; and visitors who savored the peaceful, dumb-blonde Julia Probyn in The Lighthearted Quest will be thankful to meet her again here, participating in her accustomed role of outsmarting the experts at their own game. But though lively this audiobook penetrates further in to the life of another country, and gives too a revealing bill of the impact of western life and behavior on an extremely brilliant observer from 'the other side'. Ann Bridge (1889-1974), or Lady Mary Dolling (Sanders) O'Malley was created in Hertfordshire. Bridge's novels concern her experience of the British Foreign Office community in Peking in China, where she lived for two years with her diplomat hubby. Her novels combine courtship plots with vividly-realized adjustments and demure sociable satire. Bridge went on to write novels around a significant investigation of modern historical developments. In the 1970s Bridge began to create thrillers centred on a lady amateur detective, Julia Probyn, as well writing travel literature and family memoirs. Her literature were praised because of their faithful representation of foreign countries that was down to personal experience and detailed research.
